About Glebe Cottage
A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.
Glebe Cottage is a detached house in Kingsnorth, Ashford, Ashford (TN23 3EQ). It has a recorded floor area of 64 m² (around 689 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. The latest certificate (August 2016) shows an E (score 47), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would lift it to A (score 100), a 4-band jump. The latest certificate is from August 2016, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since April 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Across 1995–2007, sale prices on this property compounded at 10.3% per year. Today's modelled estimate of £353,000 sits 50.2% above the 2007 sale of £235,000. 7 planning records sit against the property, 5 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include solar panel installation, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. The record references listed-building consent, which constrain future alterations.
